BALTIMORE, September 5.-Vice-P President
Spencer was seen to-day and stated there
is no intention nor probability of the Bal
timore and Ohio road, passing to the con-
troll of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com.
pany, nor viii it be subordinated to that
road or to the Reading, but will continue
to be operated as an independent line. He
said the moneyed arrangement which has
been negotiated through London and New
York bankers Yves intended to meet the
wants of the Baltimore and Ohio road, and
the money will only be used as needed.
He further said there are now no negotia-
tioDs going on for the sale of the tele-
graphic or sleeping car systems, nor will
there be any sale of those suxiliaries un-
less the Board of Directors shall see clearly
that the best interests of the company
will be subserved thereby. Mr.. Garrett
has not ceased to be President of the Balti-
more and Ohio, and all statements that the
syndicate will demand his retirement are
unwarranted and unjust to Mr.. Garrett.
He feels sure that the syndicate does not
intend to interfere with the management
OF the road, but VIII use only such influ-
ence as is customary under similar circum-
stances.

OTTAWA, I'LL, September 5.-The fall
term of OF the Supreme court will meet
here tomorrow morning. Ordinarily the
meeting of the court does not attract
much attention except from lawyers in
terested in cases IN which opinions are
expected to be filed. Bat this term is an
exception and Is attracting attention not
only in Illinois, but over the United
States, and, indeed, it may be said, all over
the world, because the case of the con-
victed Anarchists, which was taken up
from Cook County criminal court, is to be
decided and the fate of the seven men con-
demned to death, and ofNeebe, condemned
to fifteen years in the peniteniiary, Will be
known as soon as the court makes public
TIE decision. It is not known when the
decision will be filed; it may be filed to-
morrow morning, and it may not be filed
before Thursday or Friday, as it is proba-
BILE that the written opinion, which has
not yet been submitted to the entire
bench, will have to be carefully examined
and criticised before it is read in court.
The general impression here seems to be
that the court stands six TO one, in favor OF
affirming the sentence of the lower court.
1t is not known who has written the opin-
ion, but it is believed that it will be in the
language of either Justice Magruder or ] US
tice Craig.

A Cannibal Feast,

SAN FRANCISCO, September 5.-Private
advices received by steamer from New
Zealand aud Honolulu state that there is
much dissatisfaction among the better
class of foreigners IN Honolulu on account
OF the military dictatorship, which has
grown up since the semi-revolution OF June
20. This has extended TO complete con-
troll of the press; newspapers being even
forbidden 10 publish ordinary court pro-
ceediDgs, such as the trial of Hayseldsn.
ex Premier Gobsony son-in-law. So great
was the terrorism that not a single journal
in Honolulu dared to reprint the COM
ments OF American newspapers on the
revolt in Hawaii, although every one was
eager to get copies and see for themselves
what was said. Business continues dull,
owing TO q sense of insecurity and unrest.
It is tacitly admitted that the new consti-
tuition is not a final settlement OF the
points at issue. The Acknowledgement of
a large section of the natives, who will not
swear to the constitution, and the re-
stricted franchise are almost certain TO
lead to trouble. Information is received
that on one. of the outlying islands of the
Sandwich group a massacre of three boat
men belonging to the schooner May An
derson was recently made by natives un-
der exceptionally brutal circumstances.
The boatmen were first severely wounded
to render them helpless, tied hand and
foot and then taken in canoes over to the
island and traded for pigs. The pur-
cbaseIs then finished them and had a can
nibal feast on their bodies.

Annual Report of the Work Done in Ohio
and NeighbOring states.
WASHINGTON, September 5.-Lieutenant
Colonel of Engineers, William f. Z. Merrill,
has transmitted to the War Department
his annual report on the river and harbor
works under his charge in Ohio and neigh
boring States.
The dike at Rising Sun bar has fully ac-
complished the work for which it was
built, and since the completion of the dixie

that the bar had ceased to

water navigation on the Ohio river,

by the end of the fiscal year, S97 tons of
rock had been removed from the main
channel.
At Ashland Accomplishments could not
be obtained and the project Of ice piers
there has been abandoned. At the end of
the fiscal year proposals had been solicited,
but had not been obtained for the removBl
of portion OF the rock bar at the upper
end Of the shoaI of the Lick
ing River. Negotiations are pending TO
raise the railroad track, which now acts as
leyee protecting the town of Lawrence
burg from the waters of the Mama to the
height of three feet below the high water
of 1884. In this connection Lieutenant
Colonel Merren says that he has been una
BILE to identify the bar which is said by the
River and Harbor Act to be forming in the
Ohio river at this point, nor does he see
how the Great Miami embankment is TO
produce the effect anticipated by the act
of srresting the formation of the bar.
Owing to the late passage Of the River
and HaTbOr bill and the necessity of max
ing extensive repairs 10 machinery, dredg-
ing was not begun In the Ohio until Octo-
Der Ii, and continued but little over one
month when il was suspended on account
of high water. As no action was taken on
last years estimates for one years work on
the river aggregating 81 ,07G, $50, they are
again submitted. At the beginning of the
present fiscal year the amount available
was $19S, 564.

natl, stating that the navigation of the
river has been greatly improved by the
suIance can be afforded cheaper, and
freight rates can be reduced.
Estimates are submitted for larger lock
dam at Piers Island, Pittsburg, than that
contemplated in 1880. For use in this
crowded hsrbor it is held that the locks
shoDld have clear width OF fifty-three
feet and an available length OF 2S5 feet,
making its capacity about 20 per cent.
greater than the one originally designed.
The lock will have to be built on piles,
which makes it necessary to increase the
estimated cost to 800, 600, exclusive of the
cost of the land. which it is believed will
be at least $4,000.

HUNTINGTON, September 2.-At
o'clock to-day, a fire broke out in the
Insignificant Abbey and College of the
Catholic Church at st. Meinrad, Spencer
County, an Indiana town fifteen miles
south of this city, and despite the efforts
of about one hundred men, the entire
structure together with most OF the con-
tents was destroyed. The structure was a
large four story brick, built in the form Of
hollow square. The total loss viii not fall
short of 500, 600 and very valuable library
containing $4,000 volumes, also a very large
collection of old and very rare coins,
together with large museum. The build
ing had Just been repaired and renovated
for the school term, which was to have
begun next week. The origin of the fire
is not known, but was probably caused by.
a defective fue. There was no insurance
on the building or contents. The college
will be rebuilt at once. The school term
will begin on the 10th inst. and be held in
the former convent at Ferdinand until the
destroyed building is rebuilt

Objects to Prison Life

OTTAWA, ILL.,, September 5.-The record
in the case of Newton Watt, one of the
parties convicted of the murder of kellogg
Nichols, the express messenger, has been
filed In the Superior Court, Watt alone
suing out writ of error. The main points
relied upon by Judge Jordan for reversal
of the judgement are the unconst1tution-
ality of section 462 of the criminal code,
claiming that it conflicts with section 8,
article 8 OF the constitution; the error of
the court in allowing Judge Withrow to
testify as to his second conversation with
Watt; the admittance in evidence of the
hair found In the hands of Nichol; the
giving by the court for the prosecution of
several instructions, particularly the
eighth, ninth, fourteenth and twenty-sixth
and the remarks of Mr.. Slough in his
closing argument for the prosecution. As
no supersedeas is asked, Watt will con-
tinue his work in the penitentiary.

GREENvILLE, o., September 5.-The
County Treasurer's safe doors were found
open this morning and $4,000 missing.
The treasurer, John s. Simon, is not at
home, but it is rumored that ne only went
to Versailles last night to visit his father
and is on his way back. The bondsmen
are twenty-nlne in number, about twenty
of whom are regarded as good. Simon has
been in the Office four years, and the new
treasurer, Henry Rickel, was to take charge
this morning.
Capt. Gorsuch has been employed as
night watchman at the treasury and says
the safe was all right and securely locked
during Saturday night. Yesterday morn
ing he received note from Mr.. Simon,
carried by the son of Treasury Clerk Sulli-
van, ordering him to give the key to the
door leading to the treasury room from
the hall to the boy, and he did so. Com
ing to the treasury about Z o'clock in the
evening he found the hall door open, and
entering the room, discovered the vault
door open, and closing it, he remained in
the room all night without giving any
alarm.
Mr.. Simon's son, Harry was the first in
the treasury this morning, and was the
first to give the alarm. Treasurer Simon
was here yesterday and in the treasury,
and, it is claimed, set the time lock. No
one but he knew the combination of the
inner safe doors leading to the money
vault. The combination was not injured.
Mr. Simon has returned to Greenville, but
gives no account except to make out that a
robbery had been committed unknown to
him. He weeps. and appears to be in great
distress. His shoe store, containing a
large stock, has been closed by the sheriff
The Commissioners have ordered an inves-
tigation. Treasurer Simon, and his son
Harry, were arrested and brought before

pearance at the next term of court
